Analysis of the Poisson–Nernst–Planck equation in a ball for modeling the Voltage–Current relation in neurobiological microdomains
The electro-diffusion of ions is often described by the Poisson–Nernst–Planck (PNP) equations, which couple nonlinearly the charge concentration and the electric potential. This model is used, among others, to describe the motion of ions in neuronal micro-compartments. It remains at this time an open question how to determine the relaxation and the steady state distribution of voltage when an i...
متن کاملCurrent voltage curves in synthetic conical nanopores described by a simple Poisson / Nernst Planck model
We have developed a theoretical model [1] for ionic transport through synthetic conical nanopores. The results have been compared with experiments obtained for single, goldcoated conical nanopores. The model [1] describes quantitatively the ionic transport through synthetic conical nanopores. It is based on the Poisson and Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations and allows the calculation of realistic p...
متن کاملCurrent-voltage relations during illumination: photoreceptor membrane of a barnacle.
In voltage clamped photoreceptor cells of the barnacle, light-induced membrane current varied nonlinearly with membrane potential and changed sign at about + 27 millivolts (reversal potential) independently of light intensity. Instantaneous current-voltage relations were linear and intersected the voltage axis at the reversal potential. Illumination increased membrane conductance that was depen...
متن کاملPoisson-Nernst-Planck systems for narrow tubular-like membrane channels
We study global asymptotic behavior of Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) systems for flow of two ion species through a narrow tubular-like membrane channel. As the radius of the cross-section of the three-dimensional tubular-like membrane channel approaches zero, a one-dimensional limiting PNP system is derived. This one-dimensional limiting system differs from previously studied one-dimensional PNP ...
متن کاملThe interpretation of current-voltage relations recorded from a spherical cell with a single microelectrode.
An analysis is presented of the displacement of potential recorded when one microelectrode is used both to apply current to and record potential from a spherical cell. There are three significant components of the displacement in potential: a component produced inside the microelectrode, a time-independent component representing the spatially nonuniform flow of current in the immediate vicinity...
